if you will make it worse far better to cut the deficit by employing people who then pay tax and insurance rather than throw them onto welfare where actually they depress the economy and we think make things worse you've said that the government . just attack working people how do you think the strike. affects the. ruling class is what having three quarters of a million people from four different unions on strike is something that happened in this country for decades it's the start finish to the government is will come back in the autumn and we may well see millions of people on strike so the idea is to build pressure so the government realise that working people the length and breadth of the u.k. are not just going to let them get away with what they're doing and we believe. force them to change direction the government's bill for pensions at the moment is around thirty billion pounds which does seem excessive a lot of money how do you suggest that they would you say. i don't think they should reduce i'm quite clear

that retirement of dignity and old age where you don't have to struggle to make ends meet should be what we aspire for in the richest country in the world so my view is public sector pensions and all pension provision is important and instead of a risk to the bottom where we see the worst pension provision in the private sector becoming the model i'd like to see a raw using the pension provision and saying it's a priority for people to have a decent retirement could be done in many ways cutting the renewal of trident for example would save us enough money to pay for those pensions for three or four years. where the richest people in britain avoid paying over one hundred billion a year would actually mean these pensions look fairly cheap in comparison and you mentioned the private sector and private sector workers say that see the public sector has a very good deal when it comes to pensions a lot better than a lot of private sector provision do you think there's really public support for what you're doing the opinion polls seem to tell us all. majority of people

actually believe the public sector pensions are important arriving at the right level should even be higher that's incredible when you think of the propaganda we've had over the last two years from politicians in the media telling everybody the public sector pensions are the cause of people's problems my master's to private sector workers because they are being exploited by their shareholders and by the company chiefs not by public sector workers pensions and we should have a campaign that seeks to drive all pension levels up not down to the worst. what would you accept in terms of pension reform well i personally believe that it is not acceptable to make anyone to pay a penny more for their pension when the valuation of public sector pension schemes say they're costing less because that's not about pensions it's about raising taxes to solve the deficit i don't believe people should be forced to work longer and i don't believe people should have the levers of their pension slashed so where we are in the talks at the moment unless the government fundamentally except they have to talk about those things then i believe the industrial action is going to take

place you have said in fact that the government doesn't look like it's prepared to negotiate so what's the point of striking. when the point is to change your mind and saying you won't negotiate just when they're having a chat with a few people in a room is one thing saying you won't negotiate when they could be millions of people taking strike action is entirely another we actually believe that the six million trade unionists plus the thousands and thousands or hundreds of thousands of pensioners and students all becoming a joint campaign is going to be poetically very powerful we've already seen in britain a march of one hundred five hundred thousand people transformed the political mood in this country. but what could strikes actually do how exactly do you think that change the political needs is transformed in that it was on the front page of the newspapers it was on every t.v. station it gave people a confidence that however small the community and i have a small they seem. for example. they understood they were part of

a much much wider problem and i think that's giving us confidence to move from a march to a strike so it's clearly transforming people's confidence but the opinion polls clearly are shifting whereas a majority before said they oppose strikes now in the most recent polls a majority says they are sympathetic to the crisis that we're seeing in the main it was called. reckless financial services do you think there is political will now to create a more responsible banking community. where i would always question whether the exists when the. twenty three multi-millionaires and when they have members themselves who have benefited in the past by playing fast and loose with. all the go clearly not morrow therefore i don't actually believe that there is a political will of this government to actually ensure that the rich should pay for the problems that the rich caused but the banking sector should pay for the

problems the banking sector caused and as we're doing this interview members on fifteen thousand pounds a year struggling to make ends meet they don't have holidays facing having their pensions slashed when they see bankers who are already million trousering millions more in bonuses to be fundamentally unfair since the crisis. has entered into a new war in a foreign country and recently. he needed more money to sustain in libya. do you think there is a moral vacuum in westminster that causes these kinds of things to happen that the government would cut spending and to enjoy another war. while i think there isn't any politico consistency quite clearly we've been told that. everything that we hold dear has to be slashed and yet we can still talk about renewing on fighting wars overseas irrespective of the cost my own view is that the war in afghanistan and the current war in libya. they misjudged what people claim they are about and

we should actually find a way out of those pretty quickly not make the situation in those countries worse as well as at the same time take valuable resources that could go into schools and hospitals and finally you opposite number you know the country's biggest union is stressing this wave of industrial action that. are you prepared to join us we want more and more people to be involved because we want to be on strike because we want the government to set up and take notice so i very much welcome the comments of a you know i want to work very closely with him and all the other trade unions in britain to ensure that when working people are making a protest the protest is possible because it's designed to get the government to change their minds thank you very much.
